Non-invasive ventilation may be a means to temporarily reverse or slow the progression of respiratory failure in cystic fibrosis by providing ventilatory support and avoiding tracheal intubation. Using non-invasive ventilation, in the appropriate situatio
- Non‐invasive ventilation for the management of acute hypercapnic respiratory failure due to exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Jul-2017
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) with bi-level positive airway pressure (BiPAP) is commonly used to treat patients admitted to hospital with acute hypercapnic respiratory failure (AHRF) secondary to an acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary dis
- Nonlatex versus latex male condoms for contraception
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 23-Mar-2015
The male condom, which consists of a thin sheath placed over the glans and shaft of the penis, is designed to prevent pregnancy by providing a physical barrier against the deposition of semen into the vagina during intercourse. Beginning in the 1990s, non

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Dec-2011
Helmets reduce bicycle-related head injuries, particularly in single vehicle crashes and those where the head strikes the ground. We aimed to identify non-legislative interventions for promoting helmet use among children, so future interventions can be de
- Non‐medical prescribing versus medical prescribing for acute and chronic disease management in primary and secondary care
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Nov-2016
A range of health workforce strategies are needed to address health service demands in low-, middle- and high-income countries. Non-medical prescribing involves nurses, pharmacists, allied health professionals, and physician assistants substituting for do
- Non-nutritive sucking for gastro-oesophageal reflux disease in preterm and low birth weight infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Oct-2014
Gastro-oesophageal reflux (GOR) is commonly diagnosed in the neonatal population (DiPietro 1994), and generally causes few or no symptoms (Vandenplas 2009). Conversely, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) refers to GOR that causes troublesome symptom
- Non‐nutritive sucking for increasing physiologic stability and nutrition in preterm infants
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Oct-2016
Non-nutritive sucking (NNS) is used during gavage feeding and in the transition from gavage to breast/bottle feeding in preterm infants to improve the development of sucking behavior and the digestion of enteral feedings.
- Non‐nutritive sweeteners for diabetes mellitus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 25-May-2020
Products sweetened with non-nutritive sweeteners (NNS) are widely available. Many people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes use NNS as a replacement for nutritive sweeteners to control their carbohydrate and energy intake. Health outcomes associated with NNS
- Non-operative management versus operative management in high-grade blunt hepatic injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Aug-2015
Surgery used to be the treatment of choice in cases of blunt hepatic injury, but this approach gradually changed over the last two decades as increasing non-operative management (NOM) of splenic injury led to its use for hepatic injury. The improvement in

Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 30-Aug-2013
Lumbar spinal stenosis with neurogenic claudication is one of the most commonly diagnosed and treated pathological spinal conditions. It frequently afflicts the elderly population.
- Non-operative versus operative treatment for blunt pancreatic trauma in children
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Feb-2014
Pancreatic trauma in children is a serious condition with high morbidity. Blunt traumatic pancreatic lesions in children can be treated non-operatively or operatively. For less severe, grade I and II, blunt pancreatic trauma a non-operative or conservativ
- Non-opioid drugs for pain management in labour
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 29-May-2012
Labour is a normal physiological process, but is usually associated with pain and discomfort. Numerous methods are used to relieve labour pain. These include pharmacological (e.g. epidural, opioids, inhaled analgesia) and non-pharmacological (e.g. hypnosi
- Nonoxynol‐9 for preventing vaginal acquisition of HIV infection by women from men
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 22-Jul-2002
There is a need for female-controlled methods of HIV prevention. Vaginal microbicides, substances inserted into the vagina to prevent women acquiring HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) from men, could be useful in this regard. One potential va
- Nonoxynol-9 for preventing vaginal acquisition of sexually transmitted infections by women from men
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Dec-2011
The incidence and prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STI) and other reproductive tract infections (RTI) is high in much of the developing and parts of the developed worlds. STIs and RTIs are associated with the vaginal transmission of HIV. Add
- Non-penetrating filtration surgery versus trabeculectomy for open-angle glaucoma
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 14-Feb-2014
Glaucoma is the second commonest cause of blindness worldwide. Non-penetrating glaucoma surgeries have been developed as a safer and more acceptable surgical intervention to patients compared to conventional procedures.
- Non‐pharmaceutical management of respiratory morbidity in children with severe global developmental delay
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Oct-2014
Children with severe global developmental delay (SGDD) have significant intellectual disability and severe motor impairment; they are extremely limited in their functional movement and are dependent upon others for all activities of daily living. SGDD doe
- Non‐pharmacological care for opioid withdrawal in newborns
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Dec-2020
The prevalence of substance use, both prescribed and non-prescribed, is increasing in many areas of the world. Substance use by women of childbearing age contributes to increasing rates of neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). Neonatal opioid withdrawal syn
